Mayor's Youth Council Sponsors Clothing Drive

CALABASAS, CA — As spring approaches, many clean the house top to bottom. This year, the cleaning may be extra vigorous as people try hard to forget the past year.

If you have nowhere to put the bags of clothes you’re dumping, consider donating them to the Calabasas Mayor’s Youth Council, which is holding a Spring Cleaning Clothing Drive on Saturday for unhoused men, women, and children.

The MYC is looking for gently used clothing in any size. The drive is taking place from 10 to 2 Saturday at Calabasas City Hall on 100 Civic Center Way.

The Mayor’s Youth Council comprises 20 14-21-year-old Calabasas residents who advise City Council on matters of interest to the youth, educate their peers on local government, help their peers register to vote, manage relations between city government and youth, hold charity drives, and more. Members serve an initial term of one year, then serve two year terms.

Most recently, the MYC sponsored a creek cleanup at Las Virgenes Creek, and awarded a $25 gift certificate to whoever found the most interesting piece of trash. It also posted daily environmental challenges and information on its Instagram page.
